I doubted our skills, but man, was I wrong. We knocked out some amazing drawers for our closet. We were originally going to order some online, but they were going to cost us $300! So we measured, cut, and routed lots and lots of good quality, sanded, 3/4" premium pine. The routing was to accommodate the bottoms of the drawers, which were made of 1/4" sanded plywood. We also made good use of our Kreg Jig. We used the pilot holes to secure each piece of wood together. From there, it was as simple as a few screws, and a bit of shimmying. And finally, we had a box! Up next, was installing high-quality drawer pulls, which were purchased off Amazon, onto both the box and the cabinet itself. Here is where things got tricky, because the measurements had to be precise. We still hadn't placed the drawer fronts, which were going to be larger than the boxes. Each measurement had to take the drawer front into consideration, as well as the small space between each drawer that would allow them to open and close with ease. We figured out that it was easiest to measure from the top of the drawer slides that were attached to the cabinet. Finally, we had something that looked like this: The drawer fronts were made of MDF, painted white, and we routed some lines to give it some depth We don't have the hardware installed yet, and still need to touch up paint, not to mention wrap baseboard around the bottom to make it look built-in, but it is still looking pretty sexy. We should be done tomorrow! I can't wait to start hanging up my clothes and get things in order around here...

In this template, you'll learn the basics of building a Frameless Built-in using the All-In-One method. This is how professional craftspeople would build your custom cabinetry for you. By Frameless, we mean the front edges of the plywood don't need to be trimmed out with a 1x2. With Shelf Help, all kits come with a finished front edge, so a face frame is not required. This saves time and money. By All-In-One, we mean the base cabinets share sides, instead of building three separate base cabinets. The same is true for the upper cabinets. This saves time and money. Dimensions This method of building cabinetry can be used to build just about any size built-in. If oversized, you may wish to build in the room. If an alclove installation, avoid going too tight, as walls might not be square - instead, build a little smaller (1/2

Description Made of solid birch with birch plywood bottoms, these drawer inserts have repositionable dividers to let you configure compartments to suit the size of the items being stored. The included assortment of dividers can be set at 3" intervals along the inside and outside of the fixed walls, and can be interconnected in various combinations. The small insert fits drawers from 9 3/4" to 18 1/2" wide; the larger version fits drawers 15 3/8" to 20 1/2" wide. Both are 2 3/8" high by 19 1/8" deep (front to back); insert depth can be trimmed to a minimum of 15 3/8". For extra-wide drawers, two or more inserts can be joined using the dividers. Light matte-lacquer finish.

Welcome back Kara of Kara Paslay Designs whose talents seem to know no bounds - when she isn't merchandising some gorgeous display at Anthropologie, she is working with her husband on one fabulous DIY after the next (for example their her dining room and scrap wood busts?). If you have somehow not already devoured her blog, pencil that into your schedule because its so very worth it. So I knew she would have some clever storage solutions for those of us not so blessed with lots of closet space. Hello! I'm Kara Paslay and that handsome fella in the photo below is my husband, Tim. We write the blog Kara Paslay Designs, and we are super excited to be here today! I have to admit when Mrs. Limestone told me the topic of discussion for this series of guest posts, I was a little bit bummed. . . mainly because the couple of closets that I do have in my home are nothing special. They are somewhat organized, but definitely not worthy of a blog post. So I started to think about an issue that I'm guessing many of us have. Living in an older cottage style house, our storage space is pretty limited. This style of house was built with small closets that are few and far between. Because of this, I have found ways to conceal a lot of my clutter necesseities. Today I am going to go over one of those ways, but you can pop over to my blog to see more storage ideas- both hidden and exposed! :) Buying or building pieces of furniture that have lots of drawers provide you with instant organization! Below you can see the media console that my husband and I built with a bunch of old drawers we found at flea markets. In order to build this piece, we gathered a bunch of mismatched drawers from a local flea market. Then Tim (my husband) built boxes for each drawer to fit in. We also bought a few metal files and a mirror for a special project! After the individual drawer boxes were built, Tim built one large box to hold all the drawers. Here are a few pictures we took as we were trying to figure out exactly how things would fit together. We designed the piece so that the overall feel was a structured and clean even though there is a lot going on. The whole project took a lot of planning, figuring, and refiguring but in the end we were happy with the result! :) We not only love the look, but we love that each drawer or space is used to organize/hide a different thing, like this drawer which fits our DVD's perfectly. And like this mirror that rotates to reveal our DVD player on movie night, but conceals it the rest of the time. You can watch this this video of us showing how it works on The Nate Berkus Show. We also designed the piece to have an opening that perfectly fits a collection of our magazines. One drawer is used to store all my design consulting materials: graph paper, current catalogs, paint fans, and more. So that's our 1 stop shop for clutter concealing! We hope that you've enjoyed reading about it and might be inspired to built something similar for yourself! Thanks so much to Stefanie for having me!
